Most likely yourself; from the 'CRAN Repository Policy' [http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/policies.html]: "Packages will not normally be removed from CRAN: however, they may be archived, including at the maintainer's request. Packages for which R CMD check gives an ‘ERROR’ when a new R x.y.0 version is released will be archived (or in exceptional circumstances updated by the CRAN team) unless the maintainer has set a firm deadline for an upcoming update (and keeps to it). Maintainers will be asked to update packages which show any warnings or significant notes, especially at around the time of a new x.y.0 release. Packages which are not updated are liable to be archived." /Henrik > > Thanks, > > Kevin > ______________________________________________ > R-devel@r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
